I dont see the NCAA giving up control, this is their biggest cash cow, its very successful, its the greatest tournament in American sports.  I think this is more of a tactic, there has been talk of expanding the tournament and other changes, I think the Power 4 want to make sure they have a big seat at the table when those discussions take place. 

The NCAA has a bit ore pull when it comes to basketball and the tournament, then they do with football.  The NCAA has a TV deal through 2032, and I just dont see the power 4 being willing to walk away from that anytime soon.

Man F those conferences. Deck is already beyond stacked and they still want more. Can’t compete straight up and without their media machines behind them, gotta now run the selection committees for the CFP and NCAA Tournament. They are bound and determined to cook the golden goose and they are well on their way. NIL, Portal, P4 Autonomy + More now. It’s like they’re trying to chase fans out of this sport.

UH, UCF, BYU, Cincinnati and SMU truly did get the last life beats. I thought it was hyperbole until recently 

We knew it. That's why it was all hands on deck hailmary time. The P4 and media companies are coming to screw everyone else.....then they will attempt to screw each other. Every man for himself.

      I posted this in the game thread, but it fits better here: Dominating win in front of a tiny sleeping crowd in a canvas of a facility. Love the win. Hate the aesthetics. Easily the worst attended game/atmosphere I have watched on TV save for Grambling at TX Southern the other night. Yay. UNT has to do better at treating every game in "revenue" sports as if it's the Wyoming at North Texas football game. Frankly, it's teetering on downright embarrassment. Fix the attendance. I get that our alum, students, and fans are clearly a part of the problem. We have always been a huge part of the problem. But the athletic department has shown the ability to market and boost attendance when they feel like it(?). They seemingly don't do much do market this success, these athletes or this coaching staff. And the result of that is the nightmare TV environment we witnessed last night.

      Understood. I'm sure stuff can be done on a smaller scale for us while we build up. Some of this stuff like transparency costs nothing. I've mentioned before having a live count of subscribers posted on the Light the Tower website. Doubt that would be hard to do... just brainstorming. Those in charge should be brainstorming but it seems they're just sitting on their hands.

      5th game in a row and 6th for the season where we could not bring in more than 3K. This time for an in-state battle against an 11-4 and 2-0 in conference Rice. Only 2,836 showed up for a team that just took a top-25 Memphis team to the limit on the road on national TV. We are now down an average of 869 or 22.79% compared to the first 9 home games last year. The 7,239 in attendance for last year's SMU game is now in the mix which accounts for the huge deficit we face. When compared to last year's full-year average attendance we are now down 1,181 or 28.6% per game. This is for a team that is 9-0 at home this season! The coaching staff and players are doing their part. Really, really, really disappointed in the inability of the AD to do its job. Sure, the students are still out, but last year we brought in 3,376 for Tulane on 1/6. Where did 540 fans go?

      Love the concept, think the execution of it lacks a little and it's too steep.
